Started on July 3rd, 2019, INLEO was formed with an idea to democratize knowledge and access to crypto. Over the past 5 years, we've built an incredible ecosystem, tech stack and community. With thousands of Monthly Active Users (MAUs) and growing, we are excited to announce the biggest partnership in our history: Dash.
Dash is a digital cash system designed for fast, secure, and private transactions and instant access to decentralized data, enhancing financial freedom.
Dash has been in this space for a decade and is one of the most recognizable cryptocurrencies on the planet.
INLEO is at the forefront of social media technology - building features that have never been implemented on a blockchain... ever!
INLEO lacks one major thing: brand recognition.
Dash lacks one major thing: earning DASH.
Dash has an incredible ecosystem that is built to spend DASH in the real world. To round out their financial ecosystem, they need a way to earn DASH.
INLEO has an incredible platform that is built around creating content, engaging on social media and earning rewards.
A partnership between these two ecosystems is so obvious. When I (Khal) met Joël Valenzuela -head of marketing and business development for Dash - at HiveFest in Croatia, we instantly hit it off. We share so many ideals about what crypto should be.
For years, Joël has been living unbanked and completely on crypto rails. It is truly an incredible thing. His mission in life and working on the Dash Project is centered around bringing opportunities and financial freedom to the world. Whether you're unbanked or underbanked, it's vital that you have access to financial tools that make your life better.
DASH has been doing an incredible job of this on the payments side of things.
INLEO has been doing an incredible job of this on the rewards side of things.
With our new integration of Keystore Signups and cashout to DASH functionality, you can now have your cake and eat it too.
Introducing Keystore Signups for Hive
sign up using Keystore, now live on https://inleo.io
A few critical things needed to happen for this integration and partnership between DASH and INLEO:
- Signup with a Dash Wallet
- Earn in DASH
- Pay in DASH
While solving the signup part of the equation, we found a path that we didn't expect to walk down... Keystore.
It struck us one day while trying to figure out how we can add a "signup with Dash" option to INLEO's innovative signup methods (X, Google Lite Accounts and LeoAuth). We realized that Keystore could be a viable way to not only sign up users from the Dash ecosystem but also integrate other blockchains instantaneously and tie a Hive account to any of those blockchains as well.
We've now integrated Keystore and it is the most secure and easy to use signup method ever built for Hive. Of that, I am certain.
It is frankly so quick and easy to use while offering you the security of a "paper" wallet (which are quite secure).
We've managed to tie the seed phrase in to the creation of a Hive wallet. So now when you create a Keystore wallet or use an existing keystore wallet to sign up to INLEO, you get a Hive wallet tied to a Dash wallet, BTC wallet, ETH wallet, etc. all in one.
It's a truly incredible innovation and a total game changer for Hive onboarding. We've already seen a few hundred accounts sign up using it in just the last few hours since the integration went live.
Introducing Cashout to DASH
The second piece of the puzzle after solving sign ups was getting Cashouts designed.
Everything INLEO has done has led to this moment and cashouts to Dash are no exemption from this. We're able to offer instant cashouts to Dash thanks to our listing on Maya Protocol's DEX with the Arbitrum LEO (aLEO) token and the https://leodex.io interface we built for Maya.
Using these along with the Hive Aggregation Technology that we designed and developed, we're able to instantly convert rewards to/from DASH.
In addition, Payments for products on INLEO like Premium, Creator Subs and LeoAds can also be done with DASH as well. The beauty of this design is in its simplicity. Everything for the user happens on the backend.
They simply choose what asset to send or receive and it happens automagically using LeoDex.
Introducing Payments in DASH
With this integration, you can now also pay for Premium and Creator Subscriptions using DASH.
It is the reverse of how Rewards work - you send DASH, it converts to LEO and then to HBD and sent to INLEO.
Pay for products using DASH and your connected Keystore Wallet.
